From the Race Organizer
This is a Greenville Track Club Corporate Shield event. For the 2026 race, we are working to increase the capacity that will require off-site parking at The Ultimate Driving Museum in Greer with a shuttle to the event site. ***Join The Ultimate Driving Museum in Greer for the newest exhibition: Experience the Legend: BMW M3: 40 Years of Evolution. The BMW M3 isn’t just a sports car—it’s an automotive legend. Born from BMW’s in-house motorsport division, the M3’s roots are pure racing, beginning with the iconic E30 M3 (1986–1991)—a purebred racer built to satisfy the rules of homologation. The 2026 exhibition celebrates four decades of history, performance, and engineering that have built the M3 into the powerhouse it is today.
